The HotKnots program predicts secondary structures of RNA molecules with or without pseudoknots. The HotKnots algorithm has been described by Ren et al [2]. New parameters have been estimated by Andronescu et al [1]. The source code of HotKnots, together with data and results obtained in [1], can be obtained from here.
